Bring the outside in

It doesn’t have to be all muted colours and clean lines to still feel minimalist, however. This modern bathroom design incorporates a simple design with the feeling of being outdoors.

An outdoor tub, pebble flooring, skylight and palm plant can instantly bring a jungle-like character to a bathroom. Think: a Japanese rock garden with water flowing over the rocks.

Draw from worldly inspiration

The perfect way to create a spa bathroom is to draw inspiration from around the world. Of course, Buddhism is frequently associated with relaxation. Stone flooring and bath fixtures can create a temple-like interior and don’t forget to include a bit of buddha influence.

Scented Candles

No spa bathroom is complete without luxurious scented candles but the good news is you don’t have to spend the earth to get them.

Retailers such as Aldi and Primark have created budget twists on brand names.

Alternatively, you just can’t go wrong with multiple tea lights.

SHOWER CURTAINS

If you find muted colours on the boring side, why not inject a little colour through your shower curtain, such as this soft yet sunny pastel yellow?

An unusual shower curtain can add a bit of personality to your bathroom without overpowering the relaxing, subtle vibe.

Another way to inject a little personality without taking away from the minimalist theme is with the use of art.

Picturing paper destroyed by bathroom steam? Why not include it as part of your tiles instead? This clever bathroom design uses floral watercolour style tiles to create the illusion of art on the walls with all the waterproof benefits.
